Think you would make some Changes.
Post those changes you would make in your own post.
 
What about Birdo?
 
Naw. I think it is pointless. I will only be hyping myself up for something that probably won't happen and be crushed and not enjoy the game as much. I am doing that right now with Super Smash Bros. 4.
 
Perfect implies that there is nothing wrong with the roster. What Dragonfreak brings up means it isn't the perfect Spinoff roster. Then again, no roster is perfect as of course there will be some that think there's a vital exclusion or question at least one of the characters in your current roster. Even if you included every single character from the Mario series that each and everyone of this forum loves there will people who think think the roster is far too large, or there are people who dislike characters that others like.

Making the perfect roster is an impossibility for any game. Let alone for a longstanding series like Mario where there's so many games and thus varied opinions on what characters should be included in the games or not.

In other words, perfect is in the eyes of the beholder. This is 3D Player's perfect roster. But it's not perfect to nearly everyone else.

I don't like Birdo
Then there is no perfection. You're trying to make something subjective, not objective. Some fans love Fawful, some love Ashley, and some love Baby Luigi. If you'd like you make them happy then every character has to be in this roster. (oh, and you put goomba instead of Goombella so I give you 0/100)

Seriously if you're suggesting a roster that Nintendo should do, I can only say that there are good rosters, which would focus on these points: 1) what kind of game it is and which characters fit in this game, 2) how many characters it can put, and 3) which characters didn't appear in previous titles. It always depends, and I can hardly see what discussion you want us to follow without a clear topic.
 
Here's my spin (hehe) on the ideal spin-off roster. IDEAL, not perfect.

Mario
Luigi
Peach
Daisy
Yoshi
Birdo
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Wario
Waluigi
Toad
Toadette
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Koopa Troopa
Rosalina
Petey Piranha
Mii
 
I think The Perfect Mario Spinoff Roster is utterly disgraceful and disgusting....I mean, 3DPlayer 2004's utterly disgraceful and disgusting perfect Mario spinoff roster.

Mario Super Sluggers has the perfect Mario spin-off roster in my opinion: it just needs Rosalina, Metal Mario, Fly Guy, and Honey Queen.
 
What I don't understand is people, like our friend here, would want a minimalist approach to the roster. I mean, WHY? Large roster size isn't going to worsen the game: in fact, it means it'll give players more choices and we like choices. It's what defines us anyway, it's like customizing your playstyle. Besides, characters you don't like are often optional.
 
I don't like being forced to play against CHaracters I don't like when for example CPU characters are random or chosen by other human players (Mario Kart) or having to play as Characters I don't like to 100% the game (Mario Super Sluggers)
I feel like Mario Super Sluggers had WAY too many Characters.

Fly Guy is good, don't know why I didn't think about it.
The setting of the Mario Baseball games was near isle Delfino and that it why Rosalina and Luma and Honey Queen are not in.
Metal Mario is still Mario and it creates a paradox to put him in, which ironically Mario Kart 7 decided to do.
But Fly Guy, I don't know.
I'd like to give an honest thank you to the Mario Tennis Open Developers for putting Luma in instead of Rosalina.

Add E. Gadd and Dry Bowser to that list, then we're golden.

That's fine, but it's still a very weak reason to not want a character in since maybe the character does have their fans too?

I'd also add Dreambert, Fawful, Antasma, Goombella, Dimentio, and Kooper, with room for swaps on some of them (like Goombario, Koops, etc)

Possibly Starlow but eh, seems too small but if Luma's a serious possibility and Honey Queen's fatass can be shrunk I guess anything's possible

I would agree with this if not for this reason:
With that many characters, not every character would be individual. Many characters would end up having the same abilities, and then they would not be fun to play as.

Ew, Honey Queen.

Anyway, Super Slugger's Roster was amazing, but the problem was half the characters had crap stats. I always just ended up using a team of captains, plus Petey for hitting power. I swear, I always got at least 1 point after Petey was up to bat.

Even all characters that have been Kart games so far appear in one game, there are still many who haven't been in this series. Just hope Kart 8 newcomers won't let us down again.

Well my own criticism is there should be Warioware crew and Koopalings in these teams.

Eh, I disagree. Baby Luigi doesn't hit for power (my god his batting) but he really shines at baserunning and the outfield. Some characters are great at what they're good at.

I hate the captain system though. I really do. It gives me the terrible thought that these "mainline" characters are "better" at what they do than the others. Games like Mario Sports Mix (like those without a team captain BS) are much better at that >_>
